How many times have you come close to giving up on something but then decided to give just one more try and then found yourself succeeding? I know I have🙋♀️.
I’ve also witnessed this first-hand with our 8 year old granddaughter, recently. She is a very good horse rider/whisperer. She excels at this beyond her years. But, one of her horses, a rescue horse, is very frisky and doesn’t really like to be ridden.
But, with the help of her father and a strong determination to gain the trust and confidence of the horse she set out to conquer both hers and the horse’s fears. She must have tried 3 – 4 times to get on the saddle. With each and every try and her father by her side, the horse and the rider began to bond and soon trusted each other.
The triumph really paid off the next week at horse camp when she was the only rider (and probably the youngest) who was able to control the one of the more mature (and larger) of the horses! ❤
What are you trying to succeed at? Don’t give up….keep giving it “just one more try.”
Cheers!

Thank you, Anne! I was able to catch the process of her getting up and on the saddle and her “victory thumbs up.” 😉
